What are buffer underruns?
Buffer Underrun Trouble-shooting GRI:Write Blocks failed, Invalid field in CDB, Block xxxxxx GRI:Write Blocks failed: write error. **The above message = Buffer underrun** CD writing is a real-time process which must run constantly at the selected recording speed, without interruptions. The CD recorder’s buffer is constantly filled with a reserve of data waiting to be written, so that small slowdowns or interruptions in the flow of data from the computer do not interrupt writing. A buffer underrun error means that for some reason the flow of data from hard disk to CD recorder was interrupted long enough for the CD recorder’s buffer to be emptied, and writing was halted. If this occurs during an actual write operation rather than a test, your recordable disc may be ruined.
